Covid-19 Vaccines, Data Protection and the Great HR Debate

No comments

The roll out of the Covid-19 vaccine has employers thinking - will they obtain, and how might they manage data on employee’s covid-19 vaccination status? And if they are collecting this, how will this affect the company’s thinking on a return to the office strategy?

This panel will discuss what could be seen as an HR minefield, the Data Protection & Privacy challenges, what would need to be done from a security perspective to ensure this data was safe, as everyone seeks to return to some level of post-virus new normality.

Thursday, 23 September, 08:00 AM - 8:45 AM (BST)

Operationalising Data Retention to Reduce Data Risks

It is estimated that up to 70% of an organisation’s unstructured data is redundant, obsolete and trivial, which creates enormous risk to potential cyber threats, as well as exposure to regulations such as the GDPR for non-compliance in handling and deleting data accordingly. Data you do not have cannot be breached, it isn’t discoverable in litigation or investigations, and it doesn’t require any efforts to store, secure, or manage effectively.

Why Most CCPA Cases Will Fail: Five Hurdles Plaintiffs Must Clear

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a landmark U.S. privacy law with many laudable features. But the law’s private right of action is not among its strongest provisions. The CCPA’s private right of action only grants consumers who have suffered very specific data breaches a limited right to sue. However, this has not stopped law firms trying to force through legal challenges against businesses that have violated irrelevant parts of the CCPA.

Social Media Data Breaches: Serious or Just a “Scrape”?

In August, Facebook suspended the accounts of NYU researchers who were investigating political ads on the social media platform. Facebook stated that the researchers were “gathered data by creating a browser extension that was programmed to evade our detection systems and scrape data such as usernames, ads, links to user profiles”. But the discussions and arguments around scraping does not end there, as there are endless questions on its legality, and the fact that big companies use this BUT don’t want it used against them.
